Understand. My bet is that if they stuck with their original plans they would slowly grow an audience sizeable enough to be profitable. Cinema is expensive ($16.50 per ticket, $20 for drink & popcorn where I live). It takes a lot of convincing to get me into a theater seat! One way of doing...

Love this game. Used to play it weekly with my old gaming group. I can't believe how fast time goes sometimes...

Apologies for the necro, but finally got around to watching this and loved it. Huge Transformers fan, but the trailer I saw really didn't do the movie justice. It was word of mouth that got me interested though. So gutted the planned trilogy was canceled. Just like with the D&D movie, if they...

I think it is. From what I've seen, we've gone from most groups looking like this: To this: I just had to get out of small town to see it. One of the last game stores I went to, The Book Rack on Whidbey Island, had so many girls playing and shopping that I almost walked out (thought it was...

Never saw this as an issue. For those that want a challenge and balanced classes, design to 20 rounds of combat. For those that just want to tell a story and feel heroic, design for less. Everyone wins. Reminds me, Hackmaster gave out a bonus EXP modifier for pushing further without resting...

@MichaelSomething On a personal level though, the non-traditional direction D&D was going is what brought me to ENWorld to begin with. It's not my thing, but visiting hobby shops all over the US (I travel for work), it's quickly apparent that this game is made by and for an entire demographic...

@MichaelSomething Robert J. Kuntz has your back!

The video disappears after about a minute for me. Is this because I don't have a FB account? Or maybe buggy from the AWS outage? Game looks cool though.

Thanks for popping back in and sharing. I guess the hunt for the perfect system continues for me... At least Quest for the Lost Pixel has scratched my old PC Dungeon Crawl itch.

Absolutely love that everyone's lists are so different. I love all of Nolan's movies and as someone who's spent a lot of time and money on a good sound setup I have to tell you... they're all still pretty hard to hear at times. 😖

VtM 2e came out when I was just shy of being a teenager. One of my fondest memories as a kid was eating lunch with the Teacher's Assistant and hearing all about her live-action VtM game. Absolutely blew my mind how "non-D&D" the audience for that game was and what kind of stories TTRPGs could tell.

@Jacob Lewis Excellent write up. I think you've addressed the same issues I've seen over the years. As a DM, I didn't really notice since combat is inherently more interesting. When I finally found another player willing to DM though, making the switch across the screen was hard for all the...

That it so cool! I've never seen that before. I will have to give your recipe a go one of these weekends...

I mostly run games with my close friends, but on occasion acquaintances- never total strangers. For those that have ran public games for a long time, has anything about your DM style or player expectations changed over the years? Does it actually match the kind of game D&D 2024 is? I've always...

In more crunchy systems, I tend to completely forget about terrain effects too since I'm mentally juggling so much already.

Agree! I'm lucky to never have had a close-minded GM in my life.

That's a cool idea, but think my head would explode trying to keep it all straight, haha. I think I would have to have everyone write it down on index cards, sort them by Init, then resolve them one at a time.

As GM, I immediately begin to take the monsters' turns until the player's are ready to go and stop me. So I would say so! Example: GM: "Snarl the Ogre has had enough. I rolled 10 for Init, unless someone beats me he's going to grab his mace and strut towards the fighter and swing..." ELF: "I...
